Free/busy information is not dispalyed in office commincator

Hi,

I am not able see the free/busy information when i try to schedule a meeting using office communicator,where as i can see when scheduled using outlook.
and the meetings are not saved when i create using office communicator.

Can you provide information like you are facing issue with OWA or Outlook.
If you are facing an issue with outlook you can go Ran and type.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe " /cleanfreebusy"
Another Sol.
Also rename the Profile and create new one and check it.

he is not having problems with outlook , it is problem with office comunicator , I think. he has to check if the update is working first .

what exchange server do you have ? if you have exchange 2003 , free bussy will not work
what outlook client do you have ? if you have 2003 free bussy will not work
what office communicator client you have ?

The updates to the free/busy information are delayed for the following reasons:
By default, Outlook 2003 only updates the free/busy information every 45 minutes. Additionally, you cannot decrease this interval because of bandwidth issues and because of scalability issues.
The replication of the public folder may cause delays.
In cross-forest scenarios, delays occur when you use the Inter-Organization Replication tool to replicate the free/busy information across forests.

Here its not displayed,
after applying patch communicator.msp it takes 10 secs to display the free/busy..

need to wait for ~10 secs in appointment tab, then we go to scheduling tab it displays.
